Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge isnt sure which is preferable heading into Saturdays AFL preliminary final against Greater Western Sydney: rest or momentum.The Bulldogs have plenty of the latter after smashing West Coast on the road and emphatically ending Hawthorns hopes of claiming a fourth straight premiership.The former? Not so much, at least compared to the Giants, who have only played one game in the last four weeks.Either way, Beveridge insists therell be no excuses for both sides when they take the field at Spotless Stadium.I think maybe its a combination of so many things - the maturity of your group, the need for games under your belt, how sore your players have been, all those sorts of things, he said.Weve got a little bit of continuity because weve only had the one break but time will tell.Im sure the opposition have trained in a fashion thats prepared them well for Saturday so theres just no excuses either side of it.One thing the Bulldogs certainly wont be lacking is motivation.The Dogs last reached a grand final in 1961 when they were defeated by the Hawks, with their only flag achieved in 1954.Its been a long time between drinks at Whitten Oval, and Beveridge says the Bulldogs havent shied away from acknowledging their opportunity to make history.Its there, and I think thats the exciting thing, he said.We can be the ones that change it. Whether thats added incentive, Im not sure. I suppose it probably is.Wed love to be in that spot. This is a chance to win through to a grand final and thats the way our players are treating it.Some of our players are talking about it openly, and we can only ride with them on that.

Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. Usain Bolt says he was as surprised as anyone when Justin Gatlin failed to advance to Thursdays 200-meter final.Everybodys in shock, Bolt told BBC Radio 5 Live of Gatlin after the Jamaican advanced with the top time in Wednesdays semifinals. You can tell from the 100 meters hes getting old. Its a fact the older you get, the rougher it gets to double.In the evenings biggest stunner, Gatlin, who has given Bolt more run for his money than anyone else over the past four years, finished third in his heat.?The American said he rolled an ankle in the run-up to the Olympics and was happy just to make it here.Probably, I should have rested it instead of running on it, said Gatlin, who finished second to Bolt in the 100.In Bolts semifinal heat, the Jamaican star smiled and wagged his finger at a brash up-and-comer. Bolts main goal during the opening rounds is to conserve energy, which is exactly what he was doing when he looked to his right, saw Canadas Andre De Grasse a few steps behind him and put it on cruise control.The only problem was that De Grasse, the bronze medalist in the 100, didnt back down. He sped up, and suddenly the two were nose-to-nose, peering and smiling at each other down the stretchh.dddddddddddd Bolt finished in 19.78 to win by a scant 0.02 of a second. He wagged his finger at De Grasse as they crossed the line.That was really unnecessary, Bolt said. I dont know what he was trying to do. Hes a young kid. Hes great. He has a lot of talent. Im looking forward to the competition in the final.Bolt will go for his eighth Olympic gold Thursday.Bolt, who has his eyes on not only the win but maybe also another world record, is hoping his time will come Thursday night.I definitely think I can try for the world record, said the sprinter, whose current record in the 200 stands at 19.19 seconds. But now, its executing right, running the corner efficiently and coming in the straight and running the perfect race.But the 29-year-old Bolt also acknowledged that age is catching up with him, telling the BBC he has no plans to run the 200 meters in the 2017 world championships.Next year, if I go to the world championships [in London] Im not going to double, Bolt said. Im going to do the 100 meters, and that is it.The Associated Press contributed to this report. ' ' '
